Skull and Bones: All map regions explained

Skull and Bones, the new pirate game from Ubisoft, has a huge map to explore with many regions packing different challenges. To make this open world less frustrating, here are all the regions found in the Skull and Bones map.

Skull and Bones is a new pirate adventure from Ubisoft inspired by Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’s naval combat. Players can now join others in deep-sea adventures on the Indian Ocean.
